Country Living Southern Style II

My niece cut my hair yesterday. I think she did a great job. My daughter got a job as the Easter Bunny at the mall. It pays really well. It's her first job. We took my niece's baby, Brice, to have his pic made with her. It is quite funny that it was the first time she had ever held him and she did so in her Easter Bunny garb. We had been in town all day. I was so tired. I think it shows in the photo. I have to scan the pic of Brice and the Easter Bunny aka, my daughter, CJ into the computer before I can post it. Hopefully, will do so soon! Happy Easter! Susan

I am sooooooooooooooooo happy Spring is finally here; however, I am very sad my camera died so I can't take any pictures of the beautiful Bartlett Pears blooming. ::sigh:: Maybe I can buy a battery for my daughter's camera before too long. Those things are like $30 bucks. Who has an extra $30 bucks lying around in this economy? Not me! Anyway, just wanted to pop in and wish all of you a Happy Spring and if you like to work outside like I do, Happy Planting as well! Blessings!~ Susan

Just stoppin' by to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day!~ The Real St. Patrick - by Julie Zimmerman This week we celebrate the feast of St. Patrick, the patron of Ireland and one of the best-loved saints in the Catholic Church. Sometimes it seems that Patrick can't be separated from the myths about him and the cultural trappings associated with his feast day: the snakes and shamrocks, the green beer, corned beef and cabbage. But the real story of St. Patrick is a fascinating one, full of adventure, faith and grace. Today we examine what we do know about this 5th-century bishop, myth and culture aside. Patrick was born Patricius somewhere in Roman Britain to a relatively wealthy family. He was not religious as a youth and, in fact, claims to have practically renounced the faith of his family. While in his teens, Patrick was kidnapped in a raid and transported to Ireland, where he was enslaved to a local warlord and worked as a shepherd until he escaped six years later. H

We got snow yesterday. It snowed pretty much all day. We got about 4 inches. It was a nice treat since it rarely snows this far south. My kids were going to build a snowman, but somehow the snowman was forgotten and a fullblown snowball fight erupted between the two of them. You know I had to get in it too! It was so much fun. Afterwards, we made snow cream. We sent Hubby to Pizza Hut (Bubba's treat), so he had to brave the roads, but since he is from Colorado, he knows how to drive in the snow. All in all, it was a great day!~
